Up On High Mountain

The High Mountain Church has a single goal. Digest and consume. It's a monster, whose goals are beyond understanding. Only one thing is known for sure. It has a favorite food. Across every parallel reality, the church takes one woman, over and over again. In all her iterations, and all her forms. There's no way out, and nowhere to hide forever. It'll have them all in the end. Stella Carson is just its newest victim.

It's hard to reignite a romance with the girl you saw be brutally murdered in High School. It's harder when she starts doing killing of her own. It's impossible when you're both trapped in hell.

Inspired by works like: Dungeon Meshi, Mastaba Snoopy, and that one live recording of No Children, by the Mountain Goats where only the audience is singing.
